I have a Dragonfly canopy
with a light gray tint. I was one in the group purchase that was made
about a year back. Here is the canopy sitting on the fuselage for the
first time. The rough texture on the canopy is the protective covering
that is on the inside and outside .

A one inch border of the protective
layer was removed around the perimeter of the canopy. A piece of 60 grit
sandpaper was used to roughen up the surface so the epoxy had something
to grip to.

A wood and foam canopy frame
was placed on the fuselage. The foam had an angled groove cut into it
with a table saw. Two small holes were drilled into each side of the canopy
in this border. A piece of safety wire was tied across the fuselage to
keep the canopy from bowing outward while the glue was drying. Three ratchet
straps were used to clamp the canopy down and hold the rear piece of foam
on.
The wire and straps were removed and the foam sanded to shape.
